Can the pitcher throw to first if his foot is on the rubber and he makes a move only

Left-handed pitcher: yes. Right-handed pitcher: no.

I think we had this discussion last week. In my opinion, there is absolutely no way that a right-handed pitcher can make the described move without motioning to the plate. The pitching hand will swing forward toward the plate, and the non-pivot foot will do the same.
